Reviews for Café Chardonnay in Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Asked server to recommend between two dishes, both with lobster and was told that they were out of lobster, but he still... recommended the halibut with lobster carbonara risotto, stating that was where all of their lobster was used. What a mistake.There was one very small piece of lobster, no bacon, no peas and it was a grey chewy mess with not even a hint of seafoodflavor. My niece took a bite and agreed with my assessment and I gave up trying to eat it. Waiter was nowhere to be found afterit was served until it was time for dessert. Apparently we did get some kind of discount as my brother paid the check, but whydid this even happen as this is a regular menu item? If not for the discount and the solid appetizers, my rating would have beenlower. The rest of our group were satisfied with their meal. Read more
This is truly a culinary experience in a regular strip mall. Don’t do what we did and keep driving past it. Don’t hesitate,... go in, you can thank me later. On entering the restaurant, you will be transported to an elegant, fine-dining, French/Italianfusion. We came in for flavor of Palm Beach, and I can guarantee we will be back. It’s a wonderful experience to celebrate anoccasion, or just to splurge on a fantastic meal. While it is pricey, remember that you get what you pay for. Good ingredientsmake exceptional food. The foie gras and lobster bisque, absolutely delicious. They also have an incredible mushroom strudel,yes, I know it sounds like something you would never order, trust me, order it. I had the veal braised short rib and my husbandhad the crusted pork chop. The tiramisu was incredibly fluffy, and I’m pretty sure I could eat an entire sheet of it. it’shard not to fill up on the bread and baba ghanoush, but try. If you enjoy good wine, this is the place for you. They have anextensive wine list and you can always take the rest home:) Read more
What a wonderful Three course meal we had tonight with friends. We decided to try the Palm Beach dine special. Our server... brought us some delicious bread and a babbaganush spread. We started with the lamb ravioli, and my wife with the lobster bisque. Filled with flavor! Then on to the main course where I had the Pork Chop with a Sweet potato hash (built like a lasagna) oh sogood! My wife had the Branzino skin on, (no head for those that do not like) very tasty and light. and finished off with aflourless chocolate ganache cake and I had the raspberry taramisu. We had it all and enjoyed with a few friends. A must if inPGA! Read more

Cafe Chardonnay made our anniversary so special. I made the reservation on open table and put a note it was our anniversary,... they had the table decorated when we got there! Our waiters name was Mike and he was so sweet. The entire wait staff weencountered was friendly and welcoming. The only annoying part was the rude rich man at the table next to us loudly complaing tothe manager and staff about everything so he could obviously get his meal for free. Absolutely none of his points were valid andI would highly recommend this restaurant and our waiter Mike! Oh and we got the yellowtail snapper and braised beef, bothamazing. Drinks were ice cold and Mike even brought us an anniversary dessert! Read more
